Jesus Hates Religion Podcast

In the final episode of Season 1, we dive deep into the uncomfortable truth: Jesus doesn’t just comfort—He confronts. If you've ever felt burned by church or jaded by religion, you're not alone. But what if Jesus is inviting you into something far better—through curiosity, through confrontation, and through childlike faith?
We talk deconstruction vs. reconstruction, demolition vs. rebuilding, and why many people walk away from faith without ever discovering what’s truly on offer. Spoiler: it’s not religion. It’s rest. It’s freedom. It’s the real Jesus.
Whether you’re done with church or just asking new questions about faith, this conversation is an invitation to come to the table—empty pockets, open hands.

Jesus didn’t avoid the messy parts of society—He walked straight into them. In this episode, we unpack why Jesus chose to sit with tax collectors, prostitutes, and the outcasts instead of the religious elite. From lepers to Samaritans to sketchy dinner tables, Jesus showed up in the places no one expected—and changed everything. We talk about what that means for us today, how we’ve lost our way in the name of religion, and why real transformation still happens at the table.
If you're tired of shallow debates and ready for real conversation, this episode is for you.

In Episode 3, we unpack the explosive conversations and confrontations Jesus had with the religious elite—and why they never ended well. Filmed from a local brewery, this episode explores how Jesus consistently challenged manmade systems, led with mercy over ritual, and chose compassion over control. We break down what it means to sit at the table, why Jesus wept after he rebuked, and how this tension still plays out today. Whether you’ve been burned by church or are wrestling with faith, this episode will help you see Jesus more clearly—and maybe even see yourself in the story.

What made Jesus angry enough to flip tables? In this episode, Everett and Jody unpack the scene in the temple—and what it reveals about Jesus' heart, justice, and how religion can get in the way of people meeting God. This isn’t just a story about ancient Jerusalem. It’s a challenge to reflect on our own assumptions about church, money, and what truly matters to Jesus.
If you’ve ever felt like church became more about performance than people—this one's for you.
